Word Documents and Forms 6

Hi.
I have spent the past three weeks reading forums and doco's from
anywhere and everywhere on the web, and am battling to come up
with a proper solution to my problem.
I am currently storing office documents in a BLOB field in an 8i
database. I use an OLE container bound to the BLOB field in the
database to insert these documents from the client into the
database using a forms 6 form, and this seems to be fine. Where
the problem comes in is being able to retrieve these documents
from the database and display them as an icon on a form so that
users of my system will be able to edit and download these
documents which are stored in the database. I want to allow them
to click on the icon (which is a link to the document in the
database) which will then launch the appropriate office product
and allow them to do whatever they have to from there.
Are there any suggestions as to how I can acheive this? I am
really stumped here, and any help here would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks.
Craig.

of problems , we are also suffering from the same(OLE & WORD
INTEGRATION) problem and are not getting the proper soln.

  • PARALLEL WORK IN AN OPENED WORD DOCUMENT AND FORMS 9i

    Hello,
    Our customer want to have an enhanced integration of the Forms application and
    MS Word. Currently, he opens an existing Word-file from a Forms form, MS Word
    opens, he edits the Word file, closes it, and goes back to the Forms
    application.
    The point is, that while the Word file is being opened, he wants to be able to
    go back to the Forms application do some necessary things, and then go back to
    MS Word where his word file is "waiting". Actually, he needs the possibility to
    switch between Forms 9i application and MS Word.
    The integration with MS Word is being done using WebUtil 1.0.6. The call to MS
    Word is done using WEBUTIL_HOST.blocking. I also tried to call MS Word using
    CLIENT_OLE2-Procedures but again I'm not able to go back to the Forms
    application.
    Is it somehow possible or is there any workaround how to enable the "parallel"
    work in Forms application and MS Word?
    Thank,
    Dimce

    Hi Dimce,
    Okay. approach in the right direction. In order to get forms to wait executing the trigger code while in non-blocking mode, create a callback scenario. This is out-of-the-box webutil functionality (please read the webutil manual for details).
    In short,
    1) create a callback trigger at forms level
    2) move all code that fires after you call MS Word to the call back trigger. This code is then executed whenever MS Word is calling back to forms.
    3) use webutil_host.nonblocking_with_callback instead.
    Regards,
    Harm

  • How do I generate a Word document and a PDF from Help files?

    Hi,
    I am new to RoboHelp HTML, and am using version 8.  I updated some Help files, and now I want to generate output.  Here are my questions/ or the process I used:
    To compile the help, I clicked Generate Primary Layout.  Is this correct?  I noticed that the date stamp on the xpj file has not changed.  The date is still from many months ago.  (Why is that?  Should it show a recent update date?)  However, the files that I updated do reflect the dates when I made the updates.  These include art files, an hhp, and htm, js, ldb, pss, cpd files.
    To generate a pdf, I clicked Generate PDF.  I was not able to generate the PDF at first, but then, I enabled macros in Word 2007 (Trust Center Settings > Enable all macros...and clicked the checkbox, Trust access to the VBA project object model), and clicked Generate PDF.  At the end of the generation, I got this error in Word: Microsoft Office Word has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience.  The info you were working on might be lost.  Word can try to recover it for you.  I closed the dialog and Word generated several blank documents.  Microsoft Office Diagnostics was run and found one problem and corrected it.  Despite the error message, a pdf was generated.  (If you could give me any insight on why I got the error messages, that could be helpful to know).
    How do I generate a Word document?
    Thank you!

    Welcome to our community
    Note that RoboHelp is capable of creating a variety of layouts. WebHelp, FlashHelp, AIR Help, Microsoft HTML Help, JavaHelp, Oracle Help, ePub and more.
    Any of these layouts may be nominated as the Primary layout. So when you generate the Primary layout, you get whatever has been configured as the Primary layout.
    Only certain actions will result in a change to the .XPJ file. The actions are indicative of major changes to the project. So I wouldn't fret the fact that the date time stamp wasn't updated.
    Indeed the Printed Documentation Single Source Layout recipe is what you use to create PDF. Generally what happens is that RoboHelp creates a Microsoft Word document as an intermediate file type, then creates the PDF from that. As you might imagine, there are a host of things that can go wrong during the process. I might suggest that you first get a Word document to generate cleanly. Then once you do that, focus on PDF. I know that I typically gen a Word document and stop there. I just open Word and use Word to create the PDF.
    If you look at the properties for the Printed Documentation Single Source Layout recipe (View > Pods > Single Source Layouts then right-click the Printed Documentation layout and choose Properties) you will see that PDF, Word or both are options at the top of the dialog.
    Hopefully that gives you a nudge in the right direction.

  • Open word document in forms version 6

    Does anyone have a code snippet to open an existing word document through forms. I have a user document which I would like to open from my forms menu.

    Try use HOST command to open Words and your document. It works fine for me on Excel.
    sample :
    declare
    Path varchar2(100);

  • Using PowerShell to Copy the content of a Word Document and Paste that content into a New Message in Outlook

    So, I'm a little new to PowerShell and I came across a PowerShell which allow me to copy the content od a spreadsheet, into the new message in Outlook 2007.  I have search and search on a way to do the same with a Word Document.  I would like to
    create a PowerShell Script that copies the content of a Word Document and paste that content in an email message.
    I am basing my script on this
    #Create and get my Word Obj
    $w1 = New-Object  -comobject Word.Application
    $w1.Visible = $True
    $UserWord = $w1.Workbooks.Open("C:\Users\hhhh\Documents\Powershell\test.docx")
    #create outlook Object
    $Outlook = New-Object  -comObject  Outlook.Application 
    $Mail = $Outlook.CreateItem(0)
    $Mail.SentOnBehalfOfName = "[email protected]"
    $Mail.Recipients.Add("[email protected]")
    #Add the text part I want to display first
    $Mail.Subject = "Test email"
    $Mail.Body = "My Comment on the Excel Spreadsheet"
    #Then Copy the Word using parameters to format it
    $Mail.Getinspector.WordEditor.Range().PasteExcelTable($true,$false,$false)
    #Then it becomes possible to insert text before
    $wdDoc = $Mail.Getinspector.WordEditor
    $wdRange = $wdDoc.Range()
    $Mail.Display()
    Any Help would be great!

    My requirements are the Word documents are a template of sorts.  The document will be changes prior to its email with some changes.  The other twist is that the customer might more that one recipients, and each recipient will have to have a separate
    email, with the same content of the word document. 
    For example: Say I'm doing maintenance. The Word doc might descript that maintenance, in a set format. Once save the script is run to generate 3 to 10 email with separate recipients with the body of the email containing what was in the Word document.

  • So I've been trying to open some Microsoft Word Documents and it says it can't be opened because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. What do I do about this?

    So I've been trying to open some Microsoft Word Documents and it says it can't be opened because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. What do I do about this?

    Workarounds:
    1.  Restore the OS X that you formerly used to run Word 2004;
    2.  Partition your hard drive or attach an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard (and Rosetta) so that you can "dual-boot" into Microsoft Word 2004;
    3.  Upgrade to Word 2011 or use an alternative program; or
    4.  The solution I use: Install Snow Leopard (and Rosetta) into Parallels 7 or 8:

    What is "Adobe XI" - Reader, or Acrobat?
    But either way, 'Save as Adobe PDF' is a Word function, independent of what Adobe software you have installed.

  • Editing a word document and reading on a Mac

    Using Document to Go, I edited a word document and saved the document.  I then sent this edited document to a friend who has a Mac using the new Snow Leopard operating system - he could not open the edited document, but could open the unedited, original document.  What can be done with this problem?

    dataviz website did not give me any assistance.  File extension is file name plus .doc.  There does not appear to be any way on the Blackberry Word to Go application area to change file extensions.  Could the problem be due to the Snow Leapord OS not understanding Word to Go?

  • Creating pdf files from word document and allow copying of content

    I generate word documents and then save them in PDF format before sending out to clients.  Sometimes these documents contain quite a lot of data in table format and I want my clients to be able to copy the data from the tables and be able to paste it into excel.  How do I save as PDF and still allow copying of content?
    Thanks

    Open such a PDF in Adobe Reader: File | Properties | tab Security.  It will tell you if copying is allowed or not.
    I don't know if you can change these security options from Word; you'll have to ask Microsoft.  To change them after the PDF was created, you will need Acrobat.

  • DOC should be a normal Word document and we should be able to define the header style

    Hi Team,
    We are facing a issue with the pre assigned headers assigned by Adobe acrobat Pro Xl.
    Our actual requirement is as follows:
    1. As we convert a PDF to DOC there shouldn't be any pre assigned headers (header levels defined).
    2. DOC should be a normal Word document and we should be able to define the header style.
    We have tried working out on the same but nothing is going our way.
    We tried couple of step which are as follows:
    1. Deleting pre assigned TAG's.
    2. Clearing headers with the help of Touch Up Reading Order Tool (TURO).
    Request you to kindly revert on the same.

    1. As we convert a PDF to DOC there shouldn't be any pre assigned headers (header levels defined).
    You cannot control how Acrobat creates the word file.
    2. DOC should be a normal Word document and we should be able to define the header style.
    The word file is a normal Word document file. You may wish it was designed for it to be easiest to edit. Acrobat is making a Word file to most reliably resemble the original pdf file. I have no trouble creating any header style I want. The text in the header frequently consists of text boxes. Acrobat does this to insure accurate representation of the pdf file.
